12% of Women polled by "It's Just Lunch", premier dating site for busy professionals, said watching football on Thanksgiving Day is NOT OK. 

What to do? 

Men, here are 5 excuses to give the "Love of Your Life" to get out of helping prepare dinner, so you can sit in front of the tv and cheer your favorite NFL and/or College football teams.

1. Why is football on tv on Thanksgiving, if you're not supposed to watch it?

2. Every football fan cannot be in the kitchen preparing dinner, who will be there to support their favorite teams?  I am vital to their victory.

3. I forgot to stretch enough this morning to be able to stir anything too vigorously.  I'll get a cramp if I get up too quickly.  Oh, I threw out my back lifting the turkey! Yeah right! (These are not the best ones.)

4. You must not care about my happiness if you won't let me watch football. (Oh, I'm so sorry! Let me do all the work dear.  I don't mind!)

5. Mentally preparing for this win is going to take at least 3 hours. (You're right for you it probably will!)

Who thinks ANY ONE of these will work?
